Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Genesis is the twelfth studio album recorded by the progressive and pop rock group Genesis. It was released by Virgin Records via the Charisma labelnote earlier in the year, Virgin bought the Charisma Records label; Charisma itself folded after Invisible Touch in the United Kingdom, and through Atlantic Records in the United States, on 3 October 1983.After a successful tour of Abacab and a one-off gig in Milton Keynes with former bandmates Peter Gabriel and Steve Hackettnote largely to raise funds for Gabriel's then-flagging World of Music, Arts and Dance festival, Genesis took an eight-month hiatus as their members sought their respective solo projects. They reconvened in The Farm - their Surrey studio - to begin work on the album on March 1983, making this the first album to be written, recorded and mixed entirely there.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The album was yet another commercial success, reaching two times Platinum in the United Kingdom and four times Platinum in the United States. "That's All" was the album's highest charting single on both sides of the Atlanticnote #16 in the UK, #6 in the US, and promotional music videos were made for "Mama" and "Illegal Alien". | |

Minimalistic Cover Art: A photograph of Tupperware Shape-O pieces (often mistaken for Perfection pieces) in a black space surrounded by a yellow border, with the album/band name superimposed in a yellow script font. The toys was cover artist Bill Smith's then-one-year-old son's, who left them on the floor after having gone to bed. | |

Siamese Twin Songs: "Home by the Sea" and "Second Home by the Sea"; the two songs segue into one another (to the point where the music video depicts a live performance of both songs in sequence), and the latter reuses a verse from the former during its final part. | |
